  I'm a clique of one...

  by mrsjones5 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a loner.. offline, i have few friends.

  the friends i do have are dear to me but i'm bad at communicating with them, meaning i don't call often.

  facebook has been a boom with me cuz i can keep contact with folks i really care about without being constantly in contact with them which would drive me crazy.. on this board i haven't got too deep with folks.

  I don't belong here anymore

  by sizemik in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these are some things i have been thinking about .

  .. when i first found this site i registered immediately ... never was a "lurker" ... and i've been here about six months.. everyone was very warm welcoming and i felt at home very quickly ... very pleasant at the time, but as time has progressed i look back and feel a bit "love-bombed" ... much like a religion i used to belong to.. i have found that this site is a bit "cliquey" ... groups of posters frequent at similar times and enjoy their familiarity with each other and that's great ... but they also sometimes exhibit a coolness toward those outside their clique ... almost as if your 'post count' is the first thing by which you are "judged" ... much like a religion i used to belong to.

  some posters develop a personal dislike for others and not only jump on their threads but even deliver the odd "slap" on unrelated threads to increase the discomfort for the object of their dislike ... not unlike a religion i once belonged to.. some posters even follow others around the board looking to counter or use snide or clever put downs at every opportunity ... a kind of intellectual "rivalry" that was common to those in that religion i used to belong to.. many posters like to use 'in-house' jargon and labels eg; "newbies" for those recently joined.

  witnesses and radiation

  by lil princess in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it irresponsibe for the brothers to push field service with the possibillity of radioactivity?

  if there is even a slight possibillity of contamination, should the loving elders recommend limiting exposure?

  or is there an implied "holy spirit umbrella"?

  a mothers day advert has just come on the tv and it made me .

  it was on about how your mom is always the one with her head missing on photos but although you can't see her face she's always there.

  that reminded me of my mom!

  Why was Rutherford sent to prison?

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  well that was 93 years ago so well probably never know all the facts.

  but the wt claims that russell and others were falsely accused of sedition.

  the may 9, 1918 new york times article that covered these arrests and sedition charges states that they were charged with spreading doctrines calculated to promote unrest and disloyalty among the men of the army and navy.

  Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

  remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

  what about the thousands that don't get caught?
